Beginning in 1839, East Texas was threatened by intimidation and violence between two factions known as Regulators and Moderators. Over the next several years, the conflict would take untold lives, destroy homes, uproot families and reach at least four different counties and an area known as "Neutral Territory", resulting in bushwhacking, lynching and shootouts. Events would come to a head with the intervention of President Sam Houston, but revenge remained in the hearts of many. From the outbreak of hostilities to the wedding that turned deadly, the lives of five men would connect in ways they could never imagine, resulting in innumerable descendants and cousins, yet to be born. As old rivalries die away, children and grandchildren of former enemies begin to marry. The Regulator-Moderator War, much like the American Civil War that followed it, was personal. To the descendants and cousins of five men, it forever remains a pivotal chapter in "the story of us".
